Abstract: Regression analysis is used to investigate the relationship between GDP per capita and several variables that capture gender norms in 91 countries. Our results largely mirror the literature in that characteristics of more flexible gender roles are associated with higher per capita national income. Nevertheless, some anomalies arise and we discuss some routes for their investigation in future research.
